[Q] help in making APPS Flashable for SGT7 - Galaxy Tab General

Hi..
I got this idea just dont know how to do it..
can someone help me in building a flashable zip file just like GAPPS but the apps will not be treated as system file once installed(hope its possible),
In my case i comfile all the APK of all the apps that im using and install it one by one in between build if its possible to make the flashable zip file, reinstalling of all my APPS will be one installation all process.
this will help us alot in between updates of new build ROM.
i hope i explain it clearly.
thanks

Deodexing stock 351

Hi there,
I m thinking of deodexing stock 351 rom. i did apps and framework successfully and flashed them back via zip but after that m stuck on bootloops.
Please someone helpout. i wana learn not go back via nandroid:]
Best way to do this is to download the htc desire kitchen rom maker. It has great options to deox and zip align as well as make a cwm flashable rom....
I tried to do this manually and always ran into issues, with the downloadedable kitchen it works everytime.

what is your error? I don't see it... Did you go into build.prop and remove the one module the streak doesn't use?

LOL, agreed! The thread may however provide some answers the the issues that were encountered.
You do plan to Cook it afterwards right? You aren't just DeOdexing for the sake of DeOdexing? From what I've read there is basically no point to it unless you intend to create your own ROM based on the DeOdexed one. It probably won't hurt anything in a way that you'll notice, but it won't improve anything either.

if you're flashing frameworks you need to make sure the old ones are deleted first and that the correct permissions are set on the files.
I've no idea what you're trying to do with the zips, there's so little information in this thread to actually point out what you've tried to do so far..
if you just want to replace frameworks with deodexed ones (why? odexing is a way of speeding things up, unless you want to try theming) then you also should be deodexing the system/apps as well, and clearing dalvik-cache.
"Apk files have respective odexes that devs use to supposedly save space. Deodexing means you convert it back to a .dex file and put it back inside the apk. This allows you to easily replace files (not having to worry about odexes), but the main point was to deodex services.jar so that you can change all text to different colors (such as the clock color to white) and to deodex services.jar, you need to deodex everything. "
There are huge amounts of tutorials online about deodexing roms if you really want to do it.
if you're using windows then there's a fairly good tool called AutoDEOTool (v 1.02 works fine) but you still need to read the instructions.
I deoxed and zip aligned and I have noticed a differences in speed
Sent from my Dell Streak
I use the kitchen to deox both /system/app and /system/framework.... not sure about your update script because the kitch actually makes that for you so it should be correct

Modifying musicplayer.apk & other doubts regarding unpacking & packing apk!!

I like the option to change music from anywhere via notification but i hate the cheap default album art in it!! So I like to extract the apk remove those pictures!! Does removing those pictures alone will cause any problems?? If the answer is yes I ll replace those images with my own images!!
So now regarding extracting :
Does extracting by zip & repacking again with zip & changing name as .apk is enough or do I want to extract using apk extractor/manager found in this forum (forgot its name) & repack & sign it with the same??
Regarding .odex file :
I have a rough idea about odex & deodexed files!! Stock application is usually odexed!!
Now my doubt is what I have to do with the .Odex file near the music??
Help me out soon
Sorry for my bad English & unframed question!! Cz am posting via mobile!!

Don't ever remove stuff, depending on how they are loaded / how well coded the app is, it will most likely cause null pointers and so force close.
If you mod an apk, replace stuff but don't remove or rename.
P.S. you could deodex the app, to make your life simpler, but deodexing is no simple task for system apps if you are not familiar with the process.
Maybe the solution, if you want to mod, is to get a deodexed rom and mod away.

1) Reflash your current rom (look for stock roms topic in Original Android Development forum)
2) ALWAYS do a backup of your files before messing with them, especially when you don't know how to recover them -.-'
3) Asked like this, nobody will do that for you. Moreover, that's iTunes, and we, as loyal Android users, won't take any of these into our droids.
4) To modify/edit/repack/sign APK, there's Google for that. It has tons of resources if you only take a second to type in your search, and one other to look at the links.

[Q] why apps dont work in custom ROMS

Hello,
First I am having to post here because I can't POST in the actual forum at this time. Can someone tell me why I am unable to install some factory and nonfactory apps in custom ROM builds? If this has to do with ODEX and DEODEX can someone tell me how to see if an app is OD or DEOD? Is it possible in a simple way to DEOD an app? Thanks, as I am hoping to get QuickTranslator working in Malladus.

it's not that easy
- you can't install them because they are odexed
- if the apk contains a classes.dex file it's deodexed and you can install it
- you can deodex them with some tools and the stock rom framework (use google)
- most apps won't work on custom roms because they have special dependencies and stuff...

Malladus has on his list of downloads where you got the Rom from is a file called LG Apps, you would flash this as then get all the LG Apps that have been removed. If you want only LG Quick Translator which by the way is in the file or any other LG App in the zip file, open the zip file in say 7Zip and go to System / App and then delete each program you do not want to install. Place the remaining zip file on your phone and flash from recovery. Easy and done.
